Chapter 4, Problem 46P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The mechanism of the human mRNA to be accurately translated in E. coli needs to be explained.

Concept introduction:

A sequence of three DNA or RNA nucleotides is called a codon. The three-nucleotide sequence or codon corresponds to a specific amino acid, and these codons are interpreted by the tRNA. The tRNA also contains the anticodon which recognizes and interprets the codons on the mRNA. The tRNA binds to its corresponding codon on the ribosome and they decode the mRNA until the whole sequence is coded. In the translation process, a cell reads the information from the mRNA sequence and uses it in the process of protein synthesis. Translation involves the decoding of the mRNA sequence.

True or False. Explain. A) At no time during protein synthesis does an amino acid make direct contact with the mRNA being translated. B) Because the two strands of DNA are complementary, the mRNA of a gene can be synthesized using either strand as a template.
An extra piece. In one type of mutation leading to a form of thalassemia, the mutation of a single base (G to A) generates a new 3' 3' splice site (blue in the illustration below) akin to the normal one (yellow) but farther upstream. Normal 3' end of intron 5' CCTATTGGTCTATTITCCACCCITAGGCTGCTG 3' 5' CCTATTAGTCTAIIIICCACCCTTAGGCTGCTG 3' What is the amino acid sequence of the extra segment of protein synthesized in a thalassemic patient having a mutation leading to aberrant splicing? The reading frame after the splice site begins with TCT.
TRUE or FALSE. If false, write the word/s that make(s) the statement incorrect. 1. The Kozak sequence can be found 10 bases before the start codon. 2. Simultaneous transcription and translation occurs in prokaryotes only.
